NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 70: Hit the domestic line! (510)

At the end of the first half, the score was 65:61.

Thanks to the performance of Kobe and Durant, the US team narrowed the score to 4 points in the end.

In the first half, Lin Chuan of the Chinese team scored 26 points, 14 rebounds and 3 assists.

Apart from him, the second best player Yi Jianlian played a surprising 14 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and he didn't look like he was injured at all.

As for the US team, Kevin Durant scored 17 points, Kobe scored 14 points, Anthony scored 10 points, Harden and Deron also scored 6 points respectively, which was a clear multi-point performance.

"Well done everyone!"

During the halftime break, Deng Huade was overjoyed. He really didn't expect that in the transition period of the second quarter, when Lin Chuan was still sitting on the bench, the Chinese team played so well.

He originally hoped that the Chinese team would not be beaten 20:0, forcing Lin Chuan to play until he was exhausted, but in the end everyone fought so hard.

Especially Chen Jianghua's super beautiful dragon, which surprised him again and again.

Deng Huade high-fived every player, hoping that they could continue their wonderful performance in the second half.

"Huh... this old Mi is really tiring to fight."

Chen Jianghua grabbed a towel and covered his head.

He felt like he had only played on the court for 7 or 8 minutes, and the high-intensity game almost exhausted him.

As for Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu, who started the game, they were so tired that they remained silent and only cared about drinking a few sips of water.

Everyone was breathing heavily, and Deng Huade, who was originally in high spirits, immediately stopped laughing.

With this kind of physical strength... the performance in the first half was ultimately short-lived. By the time they had no physical strength left in the second half, it would be difficult to face the US team, which was made up of a group of iron men.

At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team recovered some strength after the halftime break and fought back and forth with the US team in the first half.

But when Paul changed direction and shook Liu Wei two steps away, and easily made a mid-range shot, Durant stopped suddenly, and Yi Jianlian couldn't even make a dive, Durant knew that the players' little remaining strength that had just been recovered during the halftime break was used up at this moment.

When the Chinese team was unable to hold on, the American team instantly opened fire at full force.

In the second half of the third quarter, the US team scored 20 points, instantly widening the score gap.

At the end of this quarter, the score was 95:105, and the Chinese team had gone from leading by 4 points to trailing by 10 points.

Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the score.

Fortunately, the US team did not lead by too much.

If there are only ten points, it’s the last quarter and there is still hope!

"You fought well. Next, we need to destroy them step by step and take a big lead. Then our mission will be accomplished."

Old K clapped his hands and stood in front of everyone.

"Tyson, be careful. You just got fouled. If you foul again in the fourth quarter, we won't have a center for this game. You're not expecting the rookie to replace you, are you?"

Tyson looked at Davis, who looked exhausted and covered in bruises, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

It's really pitiful that she is only 19 years old and has to be taught one-on-one in such a competition.

But he didn't want to, Chandler said helplessly.

"Coach, I don't want to foul intentionally, but I can't just let him shoot."

"I don't care. Just take care of yourself."

Old K was too lazy to pay attention to his complaints. He was the best defensive player, but he still couldn't defend anyone.

"Although the Chinese team is lagging behind now, they still have hope of winning."

Zhang Weiping sat upright, frowning and analyzing the game.

"Now Lin Chuan is almost always successful in one-on-one situations. If the U.S. team chooses to double-team him in the paint, Lin Chuan can choose to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhizhi who are left open."

"Yes."

Yu Jia continued,

"The two of them made good use of the open spaces today, which forced the US team to not double-team Lin Chuan at will. The tactic was invalidated, and they could only watch Lin Chuan beat Chandler until he almost fouled out." The fourth quarter began with everyone's expectations and enthusiasm.

Lin Chuan received the ball directly in the high position and started to back down facing Chandler who was defending him.

Due to the foul trouble, Chandler didn't even dare to exert too much effort.

While he was hesitating, Lin Chuan turned around and passed him, and easily scored into the empty basket.

"Shet!"

Chandler patted his head.

No matter how scared you are, you can't help but defend, otherwise it will be no different from 4 vs. 5.

In the next round, facing Lin Chuan's back-to-the-basket attack again, Chandler made up his mind to defend this shot!
Lin Chuan turned around and made a low layup, but Chandler blocked his shot and knocked it directly to the ground.

“It’s covered!”

Before he could be happy, Lin Chuan quickly caught the falling basketball with both hands, then jumped up again to block Chandler and shoot again.

Chandler blocked the shot hastily, but this time it hit his hand accurately.

Fifth foul!
Fouled out!

"Fake!"

Tyson Chandler looked at his right hand that had committed the foul, and for a moment he really wanted to chop it off!
“This is Lin Chuan!”

The moment Zhang Weiping heard the referee's whistle, he immediately shouted excitedly.

"Chandler was successfully knocked off the court by Lin Chuan! The US team no longer has a real center, and the Chinese team's hope is back again!"

Davis, who sat back on the bench and replaced him, became more and more nervous.

Facing the rookie, the US team immediately strengthened their defense, allowing other players of the Chinese team to shoot and limiting Lin Chuan's ability to receive the ball.

After two rounds, Lin Chuan, who found that he couldn't get the ball, finally walked to the baseline to receive the ball and started dribbling across half court by himself.

Three minutes later, Davis followed suit and picked up his fourth foul.

"Come on, Lin Chuan! Take down all their inside players!"

"Blow them up!"

On the field, Chinese fans cheered loudly.

"Let's take a look at Lin Chuan's statistics. He has already scored 45 points! The game isn't over yet. Is Lin Chuan going to score 50 points in the Olympic final?"

As Lin Chuan scored one goal after another to close the gap, Yu Jia's commentary became more and more excited.
"Let's see if we can create more history today, Lin Chuan!"

Love quickly switched positions with Davis and took the initiative to defend Lin Chuan who broke through two inside players.

Looking at the much thinner Love, Lin Chuan faced him with the ball and smiled.

"Seriously? The US team is really out of people, and they actually sent a character like you to guard me."

Love had a serious look on his face, his eyes fixed on the basketball in Lin Chuan's hands and every movement of his body, ignoring Lin Chuan's trash talk.

Seeing Love's determination, Lin Chuan raised his eyebrows and turned around immediately.

If they don't listen to him, he will have to teach them a lesson by beating them from behind.

Lin Chuan turned around in a familiar position. Love had a ferocious expression on his face, but he was unable to put up any obstacle. He could only follow the same fate as the two defenders in front of him and was defeated by Lin Chuan with ease.

Glancing at the scoreboard.

It is now 120:125.

The Chinese team is 5 points behind.

And there is only 1 minute left.
